Book Description
Excerpt from Count Robert of Paris, Vol. 1 Criticism has very little to do with Count Robert of Paris. The wonderful mental and bodily strength of Scott had been undermined before he wrote the tale and broke down as he was in the course of writing it. The romance is not a work of his normal self: ashes, indeed, there come of the old brightness, but we may almost go so far as to say that the book is not Scott's, not the work of the Scott we knew. For prao tical purposes, and even for some literary purposes, his mind was still available, but not for the purpose of serious imaginative composition. At furthest we may say that, if Scott, in these circumstances, could not write like himself, perhaps no other man could have written at all. The Editor has examined the manu script of the Reliquiae Trotcosienses, an anecdotic and historical catalogue of the Abbotsford collection, attempted by Scott as a relief from the labour of the novel. It is sadly evident that neither mentally nor bodily was he fit, at this time, for the toil of composi tion. But there was to be no rest for Sir Walter, except in the woollen.' He struggled on at his impos sible and honourable task. It is the character, the indomitable courage of the man which we are called on to applaud: literary criticisms were misapplied and out of place.
